Millions for derelict neighboring house - Bill Kaulitz snags a crumbling LA mansion—with rats, mold, and a multimillion-dollar view

Tokio Hotel's lead singer, Bill Kaulitz, has bought a dilapidated house next to his Los Angeles home. The purchase price was in the multi-millions, despite the property's horrendous condition, including a broken roof, rats, and mold. Bill, known for his French connection as Francis Bartek, bought the house for its prime location and stunning view. He was determined to acquire the property, even hounding the previous owners until they sold it to him. However, this isn't Bill's first property woe. In July 2023, his primary villa was flooded, damaging the band's recording studio and destroying personal belongings. His twin brother, Tom, humorously remarked that the same amount could buy a house in Berlin for a mere 50 euros. Despite these troubles, Bill plans to tear down and rebuild the derelict house. Bill Kaulitz's latest real estate venture involves a derelict house next to his LA residence. Despite its extensive damage, he plans to rebuild it, adding to his property portfolio despite previous troubles.
